Chapter 23 Watching Horror Movies

During the examination, Lin Yiluo became unwilling, and Shi Jingsheng kept coaxing the girl from inside.

“Baby Ilo, we’re just checking.”

The girl pouted and disagreed.

The two people outside had no idea what was happening inside.

Lin Yi'an answered a phone call and then left.

"Ziyuan, keep an eye on things for me. I have to take care of something and will be back in a bit."

"good."

Shi Jingsheng inside was still trying to coax her.

"Ilo, this is how the examinations are usually done, don't be afraid."

However, the man's coaxing didn't seem to work very well; Yi Luo remained unmoved, so Shi Jingsheng had no choice but to go to his brother.

Upon opening the door, Shi Jingsheng saw the tall and slender man standing in the corridor, dressed in a clean white shirt and black pants. He had bright eyes, sharp eyebrows, and deep-set features. His expression was gentle yet somewhat indifferent. Shi Jingsheng felt that Mo Ziyuan's appearance was really too deceptive.

He also noticed that several servants nearby were secretly watching him.

"Ziyuan".

"What's wrong."

"Go and try to persuade Yiluo."

"Ilo isn't cooperating?"

"yes."

What projects are you working on?

"It's just a routine check-up, to see if there are any scars on the body, and to check height, weight, bust, waist, and hip measurements."

Mo Ziyuan looked at him.

Shi Jingsheng quickly smiled.

"Oh dear, I'm a doctor, this is normal, don't worry."

"Skip this one, I'm telling you."

Shi Jingsheng even doubted that he had heard correctly.

But Mo Ziyuan actually told him directly, saying that the girl didn't have large scars and even told him her measurements.

The man stared at Mo Ziyuan in disbelief.

"It's a good thing Yi'an isn't here, otherwise he would really go crazy. You're really a pervert, can't you take it easy?"

Mo Ziyuan simply smiled and looked at him.

"Don't forget, you're an accomplice too."

Shi Jingsheng gave the man a deathly smile. Yes, it was his fault.

"Zhixia, Zhiqiu, you two go in and keep the young lady company."

He then spoke to Shi Jingsheng.

"Get a female doctor instead, and you come out here."

Shi Jingsheng said very seriously.

"Don't you know that there is no distinction between men and women in front of doctors?"

Mo Ziyuan didn't care; he had spoken, so Shi Jingsheng had to come out.

The man stopped talking nonsense and said, "Fine, I'm out!"

When it was time to draw blood, Yi Luo quickly grabbed Mo Ziyuan's arm.

"Brother Ziyuan, can I skip the blood test?"

"Ilo is afraid of pain."

Lin Yiluo nodded directly; she was terrified.

"But how can we do this without drawing blood? It's absolutely necessary."

The girl wanted to leave as soon as she heard this.

"Then I'll go to the restroom first."

"Okay, let Zhixia and Zhiqiu accompany you."

Half an hour later, Lin Yilu was still in the bathroom, while Mo Ziyuan looked at Zhixia and Zhiqiu beside him.

The two were at a loss; the young lady simply wouldn't come out.

Mo Ziyuan now understands how difficult it is to raise his younger sister.

"Ilo, come out quickly." He raised his hand to knock on the door, his voice becoming more serious.

"I don't want to." A muffled reply came through the sound of running water, with a hint of whining at the end.

Mo Ziyuan almost wanted to just push the door open and go in.

"Yi Luo, if you don't come out soon, Yi An will be back, and he'll get angry."

These words frightened the girl. If Yi'an came back, he would definitely not let her off the hook.

"Can we not have to have blood drawn?"

"No, but Brother Ziyuan can promise to only smoke a little bit, okay?"

The girl gently pushed open the door, revealing her fluffy little head. As soon as she looked up, Mo Ziyuan saw her unhappy face.

"Okay, let's go. I'll give you cake in a bit."

"Then I want to eat a lot."

"Are you a little pig...?"

……………

As dusk faded, the living room fell into a thick darkness, with only the television screen flickering a pale blue light. Lin Yiluo curled up on the off-white velvet sofa, the lace trim of her silk nightgown draping down to her ankles like a half-opened lily of the valley.

Mo Ziyuan walked out of the kitchen, holding a glass in his hand. The crisp sound of ice cubes clinking together was particularly clear in the silence. He leaned against the carved door frame, his gaze sweeping over the girl's focused profile.

"Ilo, it's time to sleep."

What if I'm not sleepy?

What else could he do? Mo Ziyuan had plenty of ways to get her to bed early.

Lin Yiluo twirled her hair, the television glow reflecting in her eyes with a sly smile.

"Brother Ziyuan, shall we go see a movie?"

"What do you want to see?" Mo Ziyuan raised an eyebrow, his slender fingers stroking the inside of the cup, water droplets sliding down his fingers.

"A horror movie!" The girl suddenly leaned closer, the scent of lily of the valley in her hair mixed with the sweetness of shampoo lingering around her nose.

"Okay, let's look at this then."

Mo Ziyuan waved his hand and Zhi Xia and Zhi Qiu left immediately, thoughtfully turning off the lights in the living room before leaving.

Look at this!

The girl pointed to the video on the screen; you could tell from the cover that it was quite frightening.

"good."

Mo Ziyuan would love for something as terrifying as possible, the more terrifying the better.

It started raining outside sometime during the day, and you could see it clearly through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows. The wind picked up and howled, swirling up the raindrops scattered in the air.

The atmosphere of terror instantly intensified, and Lin Yiluo was a little scared, but she didn't say anything.

As the intro began, the girl unconsciously swallowed.

"Brother, are you thirsty?"

"I'm not thirsty, and Ilo shouldn't drink too much water either."

"Okay, I was just asking you."

"Uh-huh."

This attempt to make conversation is far too obvious.

I don't know how much time has passed in the movie, but Lin Yiluo has gradually moved closer to the man from a distance, and is almost sitting in his lap.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!"

The girl was so frightened that she stood up, then quickly sat down again.

By the light from the television, Mo Ziyuan could clearly see the tears in the girl's eyes. In the dimly lit room, she suddenly curled up next to the man, her swan neck taut in a fragile arc, and the glistening teardrops first condensed into round beads, hanging on the edge of her watery almond-shaped eyes.

A suppressed sob escaped her throat, and tears streamed down her pale cheeks, leaving transparent marks on her rosy lips.

The girl's once neat silk nightgown was now wrinkled from being squeezed, and her body was trembling.

Mo Ziyuan picked up the girl and carried her upstairs. He kept laughing along the way, but Lin Yiluo couldn't care less about that now; she was terrified.

The man placed the girl on the bed, and Lin Yiluo lingered, unwilling to let go of the man's hands.

"No, don't laugh at me."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ziyuan laughed even more heartily.

"Why can't I laugh?"

"You're the one who showed me this place."

"But you chose the movie, have you forgotten?"

Lin Yiluo had no reason to ignore him and buried her head in the blanket.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let you see this. It scared our baby Yiluo."

This was the first time the man had called her "baby," and the blush that had just faded from her face immediately returned.

"Actually, it's not really your fault."

The girl's fluffy head slowly poked out again.

Mo Ziyuan pinched her little face and said.

"Let's not watch it next time, okay?"

"good."

The man was about to leave after he finished speaking.

"Brother Ziyuan, don't go, I'm scared."

"I'll have Zhixia and Zhiqiu accompany you."

Lin Yiluo quickly shook her head; she trusted Mo Ziyuan more than Zhi Xia and Zhi Qiu.

"Then I'll sit here with you and stay until you fall asleep before I leave, okay?"

"good."

The man seemed worried that she wouldn't sleep well, so he gave her some calming incense.

After making sure the girl was asleep, the man got into bed and lay down with her.

Footsteps sounded outside, and Mo Ziyuan keenly noticed them. The footsteps were familiar; they belonged to Lin Yi'an.

Lin Yi'an is usually quiet, so he must be very tired in this situation.

The man got out of bed, tidied up the blankets next to the girl, and sat on the sofa not far from her.

When Lin Yi'an pushed open the door, she saw the man sitting on the sofa. At this moment, the man's eyes no longer showed any signs of just waking up; they were now completely clear.

"Ziyuan, what are you doing here?"

Mo Ziyuan's appearance surprised Lin Yi'an. He looked at the sleeping girl next to him, who was sleeping soundly.

"Why can't I be here?"
